1. Washington Football Team

This would be a best-case scenario for Green Bay. At 7-9, Washington only snuck into the playoffs because they won the embarrassing NFC East. They are by far the worst team in either conference to make it to the postseason.

To make matters worse, starting quarterback Alex Smith, starting running back Antonio Gibson and starting wide receiver Terry McLaurin are all questionable for the Wild Card round. If none of them can go, you can basically kiss their chances at upsetting the Bucs goodbye.

dark. Next. It's time to unleash Aaron Jones

Even if Washington survives and advances, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Packers as double-digit favors. Green Bay has all the tools and weapons to easily dispose of this squad and advance to the NFC Championship game.
